Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 1012 The Study Room
"Pengpeng is better than me. I haven't written a novel yet, not even one." Xu Yuhan said.

"Have you never kept a diary?" Zhang Zhong asked.

"I did, but a diary is not a novel."

"Of course it can be counted. Don't you remember the three elements of the novel?"

Xu Yuhan laughed, "As for me, although I have graduated for many years, I still remember this thing. The three elements of a novel are characters, plot, and environment. I know not only the three elements of a novel, but also the four components of a novel. part, beginning, development, climax, end."

Zhang nodded, "In this case, you should know that many diaries can be regarded as novels. As long as there are these three elements, diaries are actually No. 1 novels."

"But a normal diary has no beginning, development, climax, or end." Xu Yuhan retorted.

"Well, yes. But many novels don't have these things themselves, and they are not necessary at all. So you must have written novels."

"Forget it, I won't argue with you about this. I can't argue with you anyway. Do you know that you are acting like a bullshit?"

Zhang Zhong shrugged his shoulders, "Of course I know."

……

Pengpeng is very eager to create now, and her enthusiasm has been mobilized by Zhang Zhong, but Zhang Zhong actually doesn't want her to spend too much time on writing.

He hopes that Pengpeng can devote time to reading, and the root of writing lies in reading.

There are many writers with low academic qualifications, but Zhang Zhong has never heard of any writer with less education.

They may have written little or never created works before, but they must have read a lot of books.

Previously, Zhang Zhong didn’t usually care about what books Pengpeng read, because she didn’t know too many words and didn’t have the ability to read. Her favorite works were fairy tales with pictures.

But it's different now, she already has a certain reading ability, even if Zhang Zhong doesn't let her read, with so many books in the house, she will go and read them if she has nothing to do.

That being the case, Zhang Zhong will start to worry about what books to let Pengpeng read.

Zhang Zhong doesn't want to give Peng Peng too much freedom to read at this time, because many books are really not suitable for her to read now.

When she grows up, Zhang Zhong will gradually give her the freedom to read until she has formed her own three views, then Zhang Zhong will not care about what she wants to see, and even if she does, I am afraid she will not be able to control it anymore. .

Of course, Zhang Zhong didn't limit what Pengpeng had to watch, he just set a general frame for Pengpeng, as long as it didn't exceed this frame, then she could watch whatever she wanted.

For this reason, Zhang Zhong tidied up the study on purpose.

He put the books that he thinks Peng Peng can read on the lower shelf, and the books he thinks are not suitable for Peng Peng to read on the upper shelf.

It took Zhang Zhong a lot of time to do this. Over the past few years, there were more and more books in Zhang Zhong's study room. There were hundreds of his own books plus Zero Zero Weekly.

There are also writers signed by their company. All the books of these writers can be found in his study room. Although the output of most writers is not as good as that of Zhang Zhong, they have debuted for a long time, and many books have various editions.

For example, Yu Dongyu, the books he wrote in his early years have changed several publishing houses, and each publishing house will publish at least one edition.

And Zhang Zhong has all the versions in his collection.

Although I haven't calculated it carefully, there should be tens of thousands of books.Of course, many of these books are repetitive, and there are also many books that Zhang Zhong has never read.

Zhang Zhong's study is not the kind of study that is more beautiful, it is mainly practical.

If it wasn't for Pengpeng's sorting out this time, these books wouldn't have any classification, and most of them were placed casually, as long as they don't look messy. Anyway, he has a good memory and can remember the location of each book.

In fact, even if he doesn't have a superb memory, he probably wouldn't deliberately classify these books, because this is his own study, and he stays in it every day, and no one else touches his books, so he can basically remember them all. of.

Every time Yu Dongyu and the others come over, they will envy Zhang Zhong's study, mainly because of the large area of ​​the study, and the overall area of ​​many people's homes may not be so large.

But now Zhang Zhong is facing a problem, because Mi had a special plan when decorating the study, so there is not a single cabinet with a door in the study.

In this way, all the books come into direct contact with the dust in the air.

Although the study is very clean, it will always be dusty after a long time, so it needs to be cleaned frequently.

While cleaning is not the main problem, dust can also cause damage to some books.

Ordinary books are fine, Zhang Zhong's study room also has some more precious books that need to be protected, and that kind of cabinet with a door is needed at this time.

So Zhang Zhong is also considering whether to renovate the study recently.

There is nothing wrong with small renovations, but if it is going to be a large-scale renovation, it will be a hassle to get these books out first.

Since last year, this house has been under construction. The upstairs sun room, fireplace, Peng Peng's new room, Zhang Zhong's and Xu Yuhan's future new houses were all built during this time.

Pengpeng's room has been remodeled, but the furniture inside has not been purchased yet. Xu Yuhan said a few days ago that he would take Pengpeng to choose things.

……

"The Man Who Stole the Shadow" has already been produced, and Zhang Zhong has also sinicized this book.

There is no pressure at all to Sinicize this book, because there are relatively few things related to national characteristics, and there are not many places to be revised.

And he also asked the original author to play a cameo role in the novel. He changed the protagonist's good friend Luke to Li Wei. Anyway, the name Li Wei sounds like a Chinese name.

After finishing, he sent the manuscript to Chen Qing, asking him to take it to the translation team for translation, and asked Chen Qing to show him the French version after it was translated.

Chen Qing didn't quite understand Zhang Zhong's instructions. He didn't understand why the boss wanted to read the French version. According to what he said, the boss's French seemed to be very average... Generally speaking, he was speaking politely.

Since the boss doesn't understand French, why should he read the French version? He can't understand it.

Although he didn't understand Zhang Zhong's purpose, Chen Qing still followed suit and told Qian Peixin, the leader of the French group, about it when he took the manuscript.

Qian Peixin was also a little surprised, but his surprise was not the same as Chen Qing's, because he had experienced this kind of thing once.

After "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", Qian Peixin led the translation of all Zhang Zhong's works in the French class. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Zhong would not ask questions about translation, because he really does not understand French.

However, Zhang Chong, who translated "Sophie's World" before, asked once.
